This is the third release in the Native Oak series and is named after the Quercus garryana, a species of white oak sourced from the Pacific Northwest. Previous editions married ratios of full-term matured garry oak to traditional oak casks, but limited supplies forced master distiller Matt Hofmann and blender Shane Armstrong to use a series of vattings and casks finishes for this year’s edition.

Tasting Notes

"There's a nutty, toasted grain quality to the nose. Warm spices, a touch of cherry and some char smoke are also present. Tasting without water the finish is very dry and tight so add a bit of water so you can get a better sense of the barrel spices. Flavors found on the nose are also found on the taste with an added chocolate chip taste. A light toffee sweetness carries the whiskey, ties it all together. "
